This review is for the Brother DCP-L3550CDW A4 Colour Laser Printer, Wireless and PC Connected, Print, Copy, Scan and 2 Sided Printing.My first impression of this printer was that it was very large, professional looking and nicely designed - one of Brothers bigger models which is quite heavy and considerably less portable than your typical printer you would find at home. It could be compared to the printers you typically find in a university, making it more suited for a business environment or home office with larger space. Although it offers very fast print speeds up to 18 PPM while maintaining a high quality print at a very respectable price.I have used it for some time after receiving it and I can say in confidence,if you need an generously priced entry level all-in-one printer that can photocopy, scan and fax for your home or office and won’t need to move around much, consider this laser printer over your typical ink jet, because you won’t get one of this caliber at this price range both in ease of use, print quality and speeds.SETUP:Setting it up is very easy, a lot easier than other Brother printers I have tested as it features a 9.3cm user-friendly touch display with neatly laid out tabbed icons that avoid the hassle of drop-downs menus. It is also very responsive and doesn’t experience any delay like other touch screen printers do.It comes with a keypad for typing that contain clicky, but appropriately sized buttons that don’t take up too much room on the base of the printer.The printer can either be set up wired or wirelessly to your PC and mobile devices, whichever you prefer. If you prefer wired, please be aware it does not come with the necessary ethernet cable for setting it up through WAN. (Mine didn’t).Brother never skipped on the practically with this one. The instruction manual was easily comprehensible, although navigating through the display is easy enough without the aid of it. All you have to do is touch the settings option and navigate to wifi direct, tap scan for your devices and boom, you’re connected.Upon powering it up it automatically connects to your network swiftly, and recognises your devices instantly unlike its previous models.Like other models, in addition to Wi-Fi Direct, the DCP-L3550CDW features Apple AirPrint, Brother iPrint&Scan, Google Cloud Print, and Mopria that are laid out in an apps tab which makes it convenient for those who use the cloud.TONER CAPACITY & RUNNING COSTS:The DCP-L3550CDW offers a tray with a 250 sheet capacity which makes it ideal for home or office use and will last a considerable amount of time before you have to replenish it.Its maximum monthly cycle is 30,000 pages, and its maximum monthly print volume is 1,500 pages in other toner capacities.However, the toners which come with the printer offer up to 1,000 pages which means you are getting a very generously priced printer with a lengthy print life span. The running costs are the same as other Brother models in this series since they use the same toner which makes it the most preferable mid level printer that Brother offer. The model above this only offers more additional tray space with 1,000 sheet capacity.Therefore, if you want a printer that has more tray capacity, consider upgrading to their more expensive model, otherwise if not this is for you. Running costs become pretty expensive when you use it for image heavy documents, and toner is used faster than your 1,000 page estimate, therefore keep that in mind.PRINT SPEED:The printer allows up to a standard 18 PPM print speed which is considerably faster than most ink jets. However, if we are comparing the DCP-L3550CDW print speed to other laser printers in its price range, it runs very slim behind some competition on the market. It has the same print speed performance as the HL-L323CDW’s model which is £100 less but doesn’t have the features of this one.For typical home use it is amazingly fast for printing standard text documents, essays or documents without images. Although in most cases, business documents that contain colour and images cause a decrease in print speed considerably which is seen with this printer.I used it with some different image intensive programs such as Acrobat, Excel and Powerpoint and the print speed decreased from 18PPM to 11.5 PPM respectively. Therefore, if you care about print speeds relative to images, I would consider this not too bad but there is faster on the market, especially at this price range. It nonetheless is still faster than your typical inkjet and gets you through those booklet-thick documents quick.It is however a lot less noisy and very quiet compared to its sibling model such as the HL-L323CDW’s when printing which makes it perfect for quiet environments.Photocopying is also great and it does it fast. Although this printer does not support double sided photocopying unfortunately.QUALITY PRINTING:While the print speeds are questionable, the DCP-L3550CDW replicates text, photographs and graphics at a superior level than other laser printers in its price range. While not ink jet quality, it produces nice, accurate colours at a passable business level for business applications and combined with its speed makes it better than most ink jets I have seen. If you are in it for photographs and images though, you would typically use an ink jet for the better quality prints, although considering this printer does a great job, it makes it a great all rounder.OVERALL THOUGHTS:This is a great all-in-one printer which allows you to print, scan and photocopy great quality images, documents and text at an generous price. Combined with its user friendly touch display that is very responsive, it makes everything more quick and subtle for the average consumer. Its keypad also makes typing a lot easier rather than relying on unresponsive touch screens. Although if you want a smaller form factor printer that doesn’t take up much space, this may not be for you. It also does not support duplex photocopying which should be bared in mind for businesses. But other than that it provides great print quality and quick speeds that are desired by most people, therefore I would recommend it.[4 pictures + 1 short printing demonstration added]

This review is for the Brother HL-L3230CDW A4 Colour Laser Printer, Wireless and PC Connected, Print and 2 Sided Printing.I have used this printer for a while before carefully formulating my review.My first impressions of this printer was that it was quite large compared to my main printer, pretty bottom heavy which makes it less portable than the typical printer, although it is one of the smaller form factor Brother models which offer very fast print speeds up to 18 PPM with such a high quality print at half the price at the time of writing this and it outshines your typical ink jet in both print quality and speed.It also comes with a neat security feature that allows you to set a pin which one must enter in order to print with it.I have used it for some time after receiving it and I can say in confidence, if you need an inexpensive entry level printer for your home or small office for business use that you won’t need to move around much, opt in for a laser printer over your typical ink jet, because you won’t get one of this caliber at this price range again. (£133 at the time of writing this).SETUP:The printer can either be set up wired or wirelessly to your PC or mobile devices, whichever you prefer. If you prefer wired, please be aware it does not come with the necessary ethernet cable for setting it up through WAN. (Mine didn’t).Originally, I encountered a problem setting this printer up due to its display being pretty non user friendly. To note, the LED screen is not touch sensitive therefore you have to cycle through the options using the analog buttons down a series of drop down menus. If you do not select options fast enough, the LED screen resets itself and goes back to its main screen, meaning you have to cycle through all of the options again which becomes an annoyance.The set up guide was pretty unclear as it contained the instructions for newer models which added to the complexity of setting it up. Within the wifi settings you have to select the set up wizard first and select Wifi-Direct. This kept making the printer attempt to connect before it was even set up until I found the option for scanning my SSID.Scanning for my wifi network took quite a bit longer than your average printer, but once it was set up it was fine. Upon powering it up it automatically connects to your network swiftly.The major down side of this printer is the analog buttons as they act as multi function buttons, therefore it seems very far in the past to use. If you have to ever set this up again - you will annoyingly have to use them in order to type in your password which is something to note.In addition to Wi-Fi Direct, the HL-L3230CDW's other mobile connection features are Apple AirPrint, Brother iPrint&Scan, Google Cloud Print, and Mopria that can be used.TONER CAPACITY & RUNNING COSTS:The HL-3230CDW offers a tray with a 250 sheet capacity which makes it ideal for home or small office use and will last a considerable amount of time before you have to replenish it.The HL-L3230CDW's maximum monthly cycle is 30,000 pages, and its maximum monthly print volume is 1,500 pages in other toner capacities.However, the toners which come with the printer offer up to 1,000 pages which means while you are getting a very inexpensive printer, the running costs are the same as other Brother models above it since they use the same toner.Therefore, if you only want a printer to print without the Fax, photocopier or additional trays, then this is for you. Otherwise my advice would be to invest in a printer with these features as it will cost you the exact same to print monthly as more feature packed models. Running costs become pretty expensive when you use it for image heavy documents, therefore keep that in mind.PRINT SPEED:The printer allows up to a standard 18 PPM print speed which is considerably faster than most ink jets. However, if we are comparing the HL-L323CDW’s print speed to other laser printers in its price range, it runs slim behind some competition on the market.For typical home use it is amazingly fast for printing standard text documents, essays or documents without images although in most cases, complex business documents that contain colour and images cause a decrease in print speed considerably which is seen with this printer.I used it with some different image intensive programs such as Acrobat, Excel and Powerpoint and the print speed plummeted from 18PPM to 9.5PPM -11.5 PPM respectively. Therefore, if you care about about print speeds relative to images, I would consider looking elsewhere, otherwise it is still faster than your typical inkjet and gets you through those booklet-thick documents quick.QUALITY PRINTING:While the print speeds are questionable, the HL-L3230CDW replicates text, photographs and graphics at a superior level than other laser printers in its price range. While not ink jet quality, it produces nice, accurate colours at a passable business level for business applications and combined with its speed makes it better than most ink jets I have seen. If you are in it for photographs and images though, you would typically use an ink jet for the better quality prints, although considering this printer does a great job, it makes it a great all rounder.OVERALL THOUGHTS:This is a great printer which allows you to print great quality images, documents and text at an inexpensive entry level of £133. While its analog buttons were not for me, it is something you can overcome in time. Although it does give it a major hit as most printers in this price range come standard with a touch display which makes everything more quick and subtle. Although if you want a smaller form factor printer such as this that doesn’t take up much space but still provides the same quality and quick print speeds as most more expensive business end printers, consider this.[4 images + 1 video attatched]

This printer is the big brother of one I bought a few months ago. At the time, I considered this model but decided that I couldn’t justify the extra cost (this was rather more) for the difference in printing and copying speeds (24ppm versus 18ppm on the model I opted for) and fax machine functionality that we simply wouldn’t use. Since making that decision, the price point of both models has moved – the machine I did buy (the DCP-L3550CDW) has increased in price, whilst this one has come down a bit. If I were buying today, on the basis of a feature/price comparison, I would have opted for this machine.This is a fairly big printer, a bit larger than the DCP-L3550CDW, with a base that’s a couple of inches deeper.If space is an issue, the larger footprint might be a consideration. The printer is well made and chunky. The machine can take two sizes of manufacturer toner cartridges (TN243 and TN247), and is supplied with a complete set of regular TN243 cartridges. Unlike some other manufacturers, Brother do not ship their new printers with reduced-size ‘starter’ cartridges. This connected to our wireless network easily using the WLAN Assistant and touch screen interface on the printer itself for setup. In some setup options, you’re asked to use the supplied software CD – not much use on my 2018 iMac, which doesn’t have a suitable drive! In respect of duty cycle, this – like the DCP-L3550CDW – is rated for a regular output of 300-1,500 pages per month.The combination of buttons and touch screen panel interface is easy to use, though occasionally slightly less convenient than a simple function button e.g. if working directly from the printer there are a couple of on screen steps needed to photocopy rather than a simple choice of buttons to photocopy in black/colour. Precisely as on the other model, the touch screen is good but not comparable to the screen on a decent phone or tablet and it does seem odd to need to press a physical back/home button if you make an incorrect selection, rather than an onscreen button.This prints nicely for most office type uses. The quality of the print for text and charts is very good, clear and crisp enough for most documents, even on normal rather than ‘fine’ quality settings. Photo printing is a bit less good – I’ve not yet found a laser printer that achieves the clarity and crispness of image quality obtained from inkjet and photo printers – but a passable enough image comes out even when using basic 80gsm copier paper with the printer settings on normal print quality. Image printing is rapid – though does use significantly more ink than the 5% coverage used in calculating toner life. The clarity and accuracy of photocopying reproduction is very good. In use this is pretty quiet. you know it's going, but it's generally a gentle whirring and fan noises that are heard.I already had the Brother printing app on my phone from my old printer, and it was pretty straightforward switching between my old and new printers with this. You can print, scan, copy, and fax from the app. Duplexing and multiple page per sheet printing work straightforwardly enough from within menus on both computer and phone/tablet app software installations. There are file size constraints on what can be handled, through the app – files of a few MB size, that I wouldn’t think twice about sending to print from a computer, can’t be handled via the app.One feature I hadn’t spotted that this has, when making my original comparisons, is the ability to print directly from a USB stick – handy if in a hurry and not wanting to boot a machine up.A good, solidly-made, multifunction with wide-ranging features.

I like this printer a great deal. It’s an ideal printer for a home office or small business with mid-level printed output – the recommended duty cycle is 300-1500 pages per month. The printer is not by any means small, and the box it comes in is absolutely enormous. This is a heavy printer, and may need two people to lift it. The printer is supplied with a complete set of 4 full-sized toner cartridges. This printer can take two sizes of toner (manufacturer codes TN243 and TN247 – roughly 1,000 pages at 5% coverage per cartridge, and 2,500 page coverage at the same level). The toner cartridges supplied with the printer are the smaller TN243 size,but nonetheless full-sized products rather than reduced size starter versions.This is an efficiently functional, boxy, but pretty rugged all in one wireless printer/scanner/copier. The plastic it’s made from is matt and for the most part fairly pale in colour, although around the output, flatbed, and controls, there’s a darker contrasting grey.I connected this directly to my router from the machine itself. Setting up in this way is slightly fiddly as the on screen keyboard is tiny, making selecting the correct characters a bit awkward. Apart from this, the printer has a fairly easy to use combination of touch screen and button interface, although it does feel a little odd to have to use a physical back button rather than an onscreen one. The screen is decent enough for the job it does – but in quality terms not remotely comparable to the touch screen on a smartphone.The printer is supplied with a software installation disc, but can be downloaded from the manufacturer’s website if you don’t have a drive – indeed, as long as your broadband is decent speed, this is probably easier than faffing about with the usually out-of-date software supplied in hard format with a new printer. I didn’t need to install any new software as my preceding printer was from the same brand, and I’d kept my software up to date – to connect, I just sought out a newly available printer with my iMac, and it connected without issue. The software isn’t always intuitive/as easy as it could be to navigate. Features such as double-sided or reduced quality printing aren’t available from the top-level menu. Draft/resource-saving options could be made more prominent.You can also print to this from a smartphone/tablet, if you install the Brother app. I have an iPad and an Android phone. The app was easy to install on both, and with this in place the printer could be identified immediately. The space/memory saving interface of the app isn’t my favourite thing ever, but works reasonably well – and even using this you have options to make resource-saving choices such as printing multiple pages to one, and using the duplexing unit to print double-sided. The problems I have discovered with using the app to print are that this does seem to impose constraints on printable file size that aren’t present when working from my desktop, and processing files for printing can be quite slow.Output speed is a reasonably quick 18ppm (at 5% coverage), though if duplexing function is used this does work rather more slowly.The copier function works really well, using either the flat bed or sheet feed options with A4 pages, and can also cope with reproducing book pages (though thicker books need to be opened out well to prevent light bleed from turning the centre of a copy black). Adjustments to copying settings can be made fairly easily via the touchscreen menu.

I got a bunch of Brother MFC printers, for my office, my wife's office and my mother-in-law. Very similar machines indeed, with only minor differences separating them. I got the 3770 which has a higher list price than this MFC-L3730CDN. When you see all these Brother laser printers for sale the prices can often be very much closer, and if possible you're very wise if you opt for the 3770.The print quality, and most aspects of handling are nigh-on identical between the 3770 and 3730, the device itself seems like it's built on the same chasis - and I can see why you might choose to save a bit of money if you see this 3730 a lot cheaper than the 3770.The significant difference is that the 3730 prints at 18 pages per minute when the 3770 can churn out 24 pages per minute.That makes a huge difference when you're printing dozens of reports.The 3730 has a 250 sheet paper tray - half a ream - which means you only rarely find yourself topping it up with paper, if you print as infrequently as we do. And the touchscreen and buttons are responsive and intuitive, you don't have to refer to a manual to use it. One thing I do find is that because the touchscreen tilts upwards as it juts out the front of the machine this is good if your printer is fairly low down, but in our office the printer sits on top of a filing cabinet and while I can see the display, being six foot tall, my wife struggles to see it. I guess we're just going to have to reposition the printer, but this wasn't a problem for us with our old Brother 9330 which was a very similar, and very capable printer.The only downside is that Brother ink cartridges are quite expensive, and I have learned to my cost that non-Brother compatible cartridges can be a false economy when they leak coloured powder all over the inside of your printer. So I've learned to just grin and bear it, and now always buy original ink from Brother. There is one aspect of this that is easy to overlook - Brother have a recycling scheme so you can post your used cartridges back to them for recycling for free, while your only real option with a non-Brother cartridge is to stick it in the bin.This 3730 doesn't have Wi-Fi which sounds like something you'd want, but my experience setting up my mother-in-law's Brother printer which does have Wi-Fi tells me that its absence isn't such a bad thing. I set her printer up for her which involved it trying to detect the Wi-Fi network in her house, and it would detect almost any network but her own one. At one stage a police car drove up the street and the printer offered to connect to its Wi-Fi network, but not the one sitting in her own house. I ended up connecting her printer over a USB cable.In summary - if you can stretch to the Brother 3770 then you really should, it's faster and for what it's worth it does have Wi-Fi when the 3730 doesn't. But if you buy the 3730 I'm pretty sure you'll be happy with it, you'll just still be printing your stack of reports when I've gone home for tea.

I was quite pleased to be offered this printer to review, as it gave me an unusual opportunity: the chance to review the printer model I’d considered but opted not to buy for work a few months ago, when looking for a colour, laser (LED), multifunction printer with wireless connectivity and the ability to print on both sides of a page.When I didn’t buy this printer, there were only a few pounds between this machine and its big brother, the DCP-L3550CDW, so I opted for the more feature-laden model (though this now seems to have gone up). The major differences between the two models are that the DCP-L3550cdw has a 50-sheet automatic feed on the copy/scan unit and a touch screen interface,whereas this model has manual, flat bed copy/scanning only and a button press interface. The lack of touch screen/on board keyboard makes connecting via wi-fi a bit of a fiddle if you don't use WPS pairing.I like the build quality of this machine. It’s rugged and well made. Looks-wise, it’s a pretty traditional block of plastic. But the plastic is solid and robust-feeling and has an unobtrusive matt finish. The colour for most of the machine is a light grey, whilst the area around the controls is a darker grey. Something I hadn’t considered when looking at various printer models to buy, was the footprint of the machine. In fact, this printer has the same base unit as the DCP-L3550cdw, so has identical dimensions at the bottom (it’s shorter, as there’s no built-in automatic sheet feeder for the copier/scanner – but you’d have to be working in an unusually limited space that can accommodate this being opened to add pages for copying, but can’t cope with a feed unit.) It’s not small.This is a good, effective, quiet printer with nice, clear printed output. But using a manual input and manual sheet feed for photocopying/scanning is more fiddly and time consuming than using an automated feed. I feel validated in my decision to buy the (at the time) marginally more expensive upgrade model. The two printers are based on the same underlying unit. Use the same toner. Have the same output speeds; the same options for wired and wireless connectivity, and printing via app; and the same duty cycle recommended 300 – 1500 pages per month.Unlike some brands, which bundle smaller, demo size toner cartridges in with their new printers to save on costs, the printer is supplied with a complete set of 4 full-sized toner cartridges. This printer can take two sizes of toner (manufacturer codes TN243 and TN247 – roughly 1,000 pages at 5% coverage per cartridge, and 2,300 page coverage C,Y, M and 3,000 page coverage K at the same level). The toner cartridges supplied with the printer are the smaller TN243 size, but nonetheless full-sized products rather than reduced size starter versions. Replacement original ink is not cheap – at the time of writing, a full set of 4 smaller size original toner cartridges costs more than the printer.

In January 2015 I finally snapped, after buying HP Inkjet printers for twenty years - it really did take me this long - I just couldn't bear to spend another penny on HP inkjet ink. Because I only print stuff occasionally I was always finding that my ink cartridges had dried up, and replacing them cost a fortune. Like a lot of people when I do print stuff in can be in quite large quantities, and I need high quality and fast.So back then in 2015 I settled on a Brother MFC-9330CDW multifunction, which is still going strong, but now I have the opportunity to replace it with this Brother MFC-L3770CDW - a very similar machine. In many ways it's a case of spotting the differences.The 9330 prints 22 pages per minute,while this 3770 prints 24 pages. Both machines do double sided printing, copying and scanning. Both have an automatic paper feeder for input so you can copy a pile of papers. This new 3770 has a paper tray that will hold 280 sheets while the old 9330 holds 250 sheets, depending of course on the grade of paper.The best thing is that being a laser printer it's always sitting there ready to print and the ink cartridges - or you might call them powder cartridges on a laser printer - never dry out.The only downside is that Brother ink cartridges are quite expensive, and I have learned to my cost that non-Brother compatible cartridges can be a false economy when they leak coloured powder all over the inside of your printer. So I've learned to just grin and bear it, and now always buy original ink from Brother. There is one aspect of this that is easy to overlook - Brother have a recycling scheme so you can post your used cartridges back to them for recycling for free, while your only real option with a non-Brother cartridge is to stick it in the bin.My old Brother 9330 had a very similar touchscreen but no actual buttons. There are some reassuring buttons on the 9770, and the touchscreen is faster and more responsive to use. You can access a bunch of apps, and I'm sure it does clever things connecting to your phone but that doesn't interest me - I just want to periodically print things from my PC over the network. By the way, I don't know if it's a result of me replacing one Brother printer with another, but Windows 10 and Word seamlessly migrated from one printer to the other, no software installs or drivers - nothing - it just works.In summary - I love the fact that I no longer spend a stack of money on HP inkjet ink. I've found Brother printers, and on the two occasions I've needed it, support from Brother to be exemplary - you deal with humans who treat you knowledgably and professionally. This is a nice and fast printer and the print quality is high, just not the sort of printer you want if you print lots of photos.

I got the Brother MFC-L3770CDW for my office while my wife got this Brother DCP-L3550CDW - two very similar machines indeed. The 3770 has a higher list price, but when you see them for sale the prices can often be very much closer, and if possible you're very wise if you opt for the 3770.The print quality, and most aspects of handling are nigh-on identical between the 3770 and 3550 - and I can see why you might choose to save a bit of money if you're one of the vast majority of people who don't require a fax machine.But aside from the inclusion of a fax machine, the 3550 prints at 18 pages per minute when the 3770 can churn out 24 pages per minute. That makes a huge difference when you're printing dozens of reports.

If you've only every used inkjet printers, then coming to this Brother printer is like a revelation. No leaky cartridges, no paper jams, no weird print results, no constant 'please clean me' messages. This of course is true for any laser printer over an inkjet one, so why pick on the Brother one?Well, it's a great example of 'just works'. I was up and running with this printer within ten minutes of taking it out of the box. Some of the other reviews here are suprising me in that they are struggling to set this printer up. If you want to have a network printer working over wifi, then this is trivially easy to install. You can do everything directly from the printer itself,

Quite a nice printer/scanner. In this day and age most quality printers come with a scan function though personally I tend to use a small hand scanner most of the time (home use). I had no problems with the setup. Make sure you remove all the packaging, tape and spacers! Once done you’ll realise that this is a reasonably sized printer but not massive. Using the setup guide I managed to get the printer on line and connected to my phone (don’t actually know what I’ll be printing from there) and although I stumbled a bit it was OK in the end. I think wireless connectivity in this day and age is essential for any device.I found the printing to be good quality – nice colours and the print speed is fine for me (I’m not running a business).

The unpacking instructions are fairly easy to follow despite there being no text, just a few illustrations and took very little time. Software installation was achieved using the previously downloaded 100K-plus all-in-one package although there was then the option to download and install a further 300K-plus iScan Print & Scan package which delayed first use. An installation CD is included for those able to utilise it.Based upon other Brother printers used, it was thought that a sample page may have followed switch-on but that did not happen. Mating it to my router was almost painless and used the WPS option; it needed a second try and mated on that. Thereafter,

This isn't really a complaint - the current Brother range has a slightly overwhelming number of slight variants on this printer - okay, in reality it's ten different models that are specifically laser multi-function printers, but how do you choose between them?What I can say is that the 3750 suits our needs extremely well. Being a laser printer the cartridges are very costly, but they don't dry out between uses unlike an inkjet, so the price-per-page is very competitive compared to the abysmal experience we had for many years with inkjets. After an unpleasant experience with our last Brother laser printer in which a non-Brother branded compatible laser ink cartridge leaked all over the inside of our printer I've bitten the bullet and rigorously buy genuine Brother cartridges.

This is a good, solid, reliable, colour laser printer. Looks-wise, it’s fairly simple and understated. It’s a largish, rugged hunk of plastic in light grey and black. This is a heavy device, weighing in at 18kg, and at approximately 45cm deep, 41cm wide, and 24 cm high, it takes a fair amount of space. Where there are flaps and adjustable elements (e.g. the sizing guide in the paper tray, and the flip-up paper ‘stop’ on the top to help prevent output pages from spilling off the machine), these feel solid and well-made. The machine has a recommended monthly print volume of 300-1500 pages: ideal for a home office or small business.Although described as starter cartridges,

After ordering this printer yesterday and recieving it today - I cannot fault the delivery time or service.Item was well packaged and secure, no real comments there.THIS ITEM CAME WITH A UK PLUG AND INSTRUCTIONS (for me anyway - I have seen a lot of reviews stating it came with german/dutch instructions and a european plug - this wasn't the case for me - intitally these reviews put me off).Very easy step-by-step instructions to follow with diagram guide to get all set up. I chose to go wireless and this was also super easy except my computer couldn't find it which meant I had to manually set up the wifi on the printer itself - P.I.T.A when coming to put my wifi password in when all you have are up and down arrows to chose your lower/upper case letters,

This is a very good cheap laser colour printer as far as a Linux user is concerned. I am using Ubuntu 18.04.LTS. To install this printer was a breeze. Simply enable and set up network from the control panel on the printer, my wireless ssid was detected and then I entered the password and within a couple of moments the green wi-fi light was on and it was connected to my wireless network. I confirmed it was connected by checking the ip in my router control panel.Then in Ubuntu I went to System tools, Preferences, Settings, Printers and by the miracle of Open-source the printer was there and working. ( nice one Ubuntu). I find it easy to control setting from the web interface ( you will need to log in,
